How to Set Up a Vastex V-2000HD Press

The V-2000HD is designed for wrench-free setup. Follow these steps, then keep the V-2000HD operation manual (PDF) handy.

Setup steps

Place and level the press. Floor models: level the base so the rotor spins flat. Tabletop models: use a solid, level bench.
Mount pallets. Fit each pallet on its quick-release arm and set all pallets to the same height.
Load a screen in the rear clamps (or side clamps on FSC models).
Set off-contact about 1/8 in. and level the head to the pallet with the 6-way leveling.
Register with the micro-registration knobs: a 1/4 turn moves the screen about 1/64 in.
Tack and test - lightly tack the pallet, print a test, flash and check registration before the run.

Troubleshooting

Blurry or doubled prints: recheck off-contact and that the screen and pallet are tight.
Registration drifts: snug the micro-registration and the pallet arm.
Heads won't stay up: adjust the gas-spring lift strength or add double gas springs for heavy screens.

Speed up multi-color setups with the VRST pin registration system. Next: set your conveyor dryer.
